Is this a Fugu Puffer?!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
damn i just bought two fugu today and i had no idea there so hard to keep... ill be taking them back and swapping for some figure 8s
 
The origional fugu posted about is called a Talifugu ocellatus. The 2nd one pictured is the Takifugu niphobles. The ocellatus is the most difficult puffer to keep. Most puffer experts haven't gotten much farther than 4 months but there are a few that have kept them longer with huge water changes & cooler temps in marine conditions. Try a search on them at my pufferforum.
 
Thats a fugu puffer. Ideally should be kept in brackish to marine conditions, specific gravity between 1.012 and 1.025.
